Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
Good luck!
UPDATE: A couple of characters from the game look awfully familiar…

HP Lovecraft’s Shadow of the Comet. Awesome game, except for the part where you literally use candle wax to fix your wings…

A quick google tells me that HP Lovecraft’s name wasn’t directly attached to the game, but Call of Cthulu was.

Correct!
Anyone else notice the main character’s resemblance to Dennis Quaid?

I always thought the standard sprite for the protaganist looked like a monkey because of his oversized mutton chops.

The other guy (doctor cobble based on the text) looks like the lead singer from Modest Mouse.
